The Merseyside junior chess league had another round of fixtures yesterday at Merchant Taylor Junior Boys school which leaves just a couple of games outstanding for this season.

The title was decided yesterday with the tightest of outcomes possible at the top. Wirral Juniors and Liverpool Knights both finished the season with 13 points from a possible 14 points after drawing with each other early in the season and winning all other matches. Wirral scored 28.5 board victories through the season and Liverpool Knights 28.0
